The girl was still wearing the same clothes that Sammy, the honest chain dog, had given her to the ship after they boarded the ship in Calais.

Looking at himself again, he saw that the brown flannel suit he was wearing was not a cheap one prepared by the chained dog Sammy. There was also a gray trench coat on top, and a thick scarf around his neck.

There was an English top hat on his head, and on his feet he wore a pair of thick brown country boots that were stained with a lot of mud. Even his hands were wearing a pair of soft sheepskin gloves.

Although he still doesn't know where he and Vanessa are currently, Wei Ran has to admit that the clothes in this metal book are worthy of recognition.

Vanessa didn't wake up, so he simply continued to look at the surrounding environment. At this time, on the other side of him, there were two brown cowhide suitcases side by side. On the sides of the suitcases, a pair of leather suitcases were fixed with belts.

Black umbrella.

Separated between the two suitcases, there was a rickety figure who was also wearing a windbreaker, but with his back to them. He was holding the reins and steering the carriage in the cold drizzle along a muddy country road.

Walking with a bang.

Have we arrived in England? Is this the countryside of Liverpool? Heidi and Vanessa's "grandma's house"?

After thinking about the mission requirements this time, Wei Ran couldn't help but shudder and carefully touched his pockets all over his body.

Soon, he found a pack of unopened Marlboro cigarettes and a ferry ticket from Dublin to Liverpool. The boarding time on it was September 28, 1940.

Continuing to rummage, he also found a leather wallet containing several British pounds in the inner pocket of his windbreaker, and a copper-case pocket watch in the pocket of his suit jacket. The time displayed on the pocket watch was 6:42. Look,

Looking at the gloomy sky covered with rain outside, you can tell that it should be dusk now, otherwise, even if it rains, the sky will not be so dark.

Looking down at Vanessa who was still sleeping soundly, Wei Ran gently opened the nearest suitcase. In addition to a few changes of clothes and a pair of women's boots, there were many other things in the mezzanine.

Few banknotes and a few silver coins.

Wei Ran could see that these were the windfalls he had shared with sisters Heidi and Vanessa before escaping from the tailor shop.

After searching and finding that there were no weapons inside, he carefully closed the suitcase and then brought another suitcase over and slowly opened it.

The changes of clothes in this suitcase were obviously men's clothes, and they were extremely complete from the inside out. He even found a large copper flashlight inside that looked particularly familiar.

This flashlight, which is almost half a meter long, is also wrapped in a circle of engraved brown cowhide, which obviously highlights British elegance to the extreme.

In addition to these things, he also found some banknotes in the box, which were also the stolen money he had scraped before leaving the tailor shop.

Although there are no weapons in it, there is the Rolleiflex double-lens reflex camera with a horse fur protective case, and a bottle of Weiran brandy that looks very familiar - he found it in the lighthouse basement of Castle Philippe.

Antique brandy!

Is this the bottle of brandy you need to drink in the mission requirement?

When Wei Ran saw the bottle of brandy, he couldn't help but become more vigilant. Naturally, what he was wary of was not the bottle of wine, but the other requirements of this return mission.

He didn't know what the outrageous things the people on the farm mentioned in the mission had done that angered the metal book, so much so that he asked to "kill everyone" in his return mission this time.

So, how many people are there on that farm now? Is it just that scumbag Spear?

No, it's impossible. Is there still Heidi? It should be...impossible, right?

After Wei Ran closed the box, he glanced at Vanessa who was still sleeping soundly on his legs with fear. He secretly wondered whether this girl's heart would be darkened because she was abandoned at Castle Philip last time.

change.

Just at this time, the rickety figure also shouted for the carriage to stop. When he turned around with a little effort, his body that had been soaked by the drizzle, Vanessa, who was sleeping soundly, was also awakened by the stop of the carriage.

Then he stretched again and then sat up.

"Sir, Miss, we have arrived at the address you specified. How should we go next?" the old man driving the car asked in a hoarse voice.

“Just right here”

Vanessa yawned, took out a few scattered bills from her pocket and handed them to the old coachman. Then she looked at the rain outside and said in French, "Victor, we'll get off here."

Bar."

"good"

Wei Ran nodded, first carried their suitcases to the back of the car, and then jumped down to help Vanessa get out of the car. Then they each picked up a suitcase and propped up the black suitcase that was originally fixed on the side of the suitcase.

Umbrella.

"Come with me"

Vanessa said, already carrying her suitcase to the roadside, lifting up the skirt under her windbreaker, and deftly stepped across a road made of large and small stones, less than one meter high, but always

It spread to the low wall at the end of sight.

"Where are we going?" Wei Ran, who was following behind, asked as he climbed over the low stone wall wrapped in grass.

"Inside this wall is the farm left by my grandfather."

Vanessa pointed to the grassland on a gentle slope inside the railing and said, "Did you see the oak forest in front of you? When we get around the oak forest, we can see a three-story red brick house.

.”

Glancing at the oak forest more than a hundred meters away, which was half the size of a playground, Wei Ran followed Vanessa and asked curiously, "Why are we getting off here?"

"The main entrance of the farm is at the lowest point of this slope"

Vanessa raised her finger and pointed in the direction, and explained in a very familiar manner, "Even when it doesn't rain, it's very muddy there. If this kind of weather comes from there, our shoes will be soaked in the mud."

"You are really familiar with this place," Wei Ran couldn't help but say.

"certainly"

Vanessa twirled the umbrella in her hand, stopped by a stone the size of a truck tire, put her suitcase on it, and rubbed the mud on the soles of her shoes on the edge of the stone as she said, "In my grandfather's life,

When my grandmother and I were alive, my sister and I would come here for vacation almost every summer. Everything here, of course, including the horrible weather now, I can even imagine it when I close my eyes."

"All right"

Wei Ran also placed the suitcase in his hand on the stone and asked seemingly casually, "What else is there on this farm?"

"At least when I came here last time, this farm was full of pasture, goats and cows. I forgot to mention that there is a barn not far from the house, and there are many hens in it."

Vanessa changed her muddy shoes and looked around and explained, "They used to have three shepherd dogs. Generally speaking, when my sister and I walked to this stone, they were already shaking

The tail is coming."

"It sounds like your grandfather and grandmother had a prosperous life?"

While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already taken off his gloves, took out the wine bottle under the cover of his pocket and took a sip. In this humid, cold and rainy weather, carrying a wine bottle has become a necessity to keep out the cold.

"My mother had a much happier childhood than my sister and I."

While Vanessa was speaking, she also reached out and snatched the wine bottle from Wei Ran's hand, and also took a sip of the vodka inside.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is...ahem! What kind of wine is this?"

Vanessa, who was choked, asked while coughing, "It's like drinking alcohol, there is no other taste at all."

"Vodka, I asked a sailor on the ship to buy it."

Wei Ran, who was making nonsense, took the bottle and took another sip, and then used the cover of his pocket to put it back into the metal book.

"When did what you just said happen?"

Wei Ran then took out the cigarette case and opened it. He saw that there were only two cigarette holders inside. He simply handed the umbrella to Vanessa to help hold it. Then he took out the cigarettes and placed them one by one in the cigarette case, and then gave them to Vanessa.

One of them was put on a gold cigarette holder, lit and took a puff.

Perhaps the sip of wine just taught Vanessa a lesson. This time she didn't ask for a cigarette to taste it. She just explained after Wei Ran took away his umbrella, "The last time I came here was when I was 15

When I was 12 years old, my sister and I buried our parents here. Speaking of which, we haven’t come here to visit in four years.”

Having said this, Vanessa pointed to the gravel road covered with grass on the other side of the stone and said, "This crossroad was specially paved by my grandfather for me and my sister about ten years ago. You see

, this place is still the same without any changes, I just don’t know if the house left by my grandfather can still be lived in, but if my sister has rushed here, she must have packed it up. "

"Let's go over and take a look."

Wei Ran took a puff of his cigarette and urged, if Spear were here, he couldn't wait to hear how he would explain the cut rope.

Not long after walking along this cross road, the two of them had already bypassed the oak forest that had lost all its leaves.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ran also saw a three-story country villa built with red bricks.

"Sister, they must have arrived!"

When Vanessa saw the lights on the first floor of the villa, she let out a trance of surprise, dropped her umbrella, picked up her skirt, and ran over cheering!

Compared to Vanessa, who was full of joy, Wei Ran felt a trace of uneasiness inexplicably. Before he had time to think about it, he also threw down his umbrella and chased after her with his suitcase.

By the time he ran to Vanessa, the girl had already bypassed the two-horse carriage parked at the door, ran up the steps and stood at the door, knocking on the heavy door.

He opened the door and shouted happily, "Sister! Open the door! I am Vanessa! Sister!"

"Squeak——"

Just when Wei Ran tried to pull Vanessa away first, the wooden door in front of the two of them was also opened. At the same time, both Wei Ran and Vanessa smelled the strong smell of tobacco and alcohol mixed in it.

taste.

But compared to the smell, inside the door, there were two young men who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old and wearing newsboy hats, each holding a double-barreled shotgun and aiming at them.

"You are..."

Vanessa, who was startled, didn't even finish her words. Along with the tapping sound, a short and fat old man wearing a black suit and a top hat also hit the door.

Holding a silver-wrapped cane, he walked behind the two young men holding shotguns with a smile, and said hello kindly, "Vanessa, long time no see, oh! And Victor, my good boy, you won't help me."
